Service and disposal of belt tensioners
The belt tensioners are components of the seat belts that are installed in the
seats of your vehicle. If you work on the belt tensioners or remove and install
parts of the system when performing other repair work, the seat belt may be
damaged. The consequence may be that, in the event of an accident, the belt
tensioners function incorrectly or not at all.
So that the effectiveness of the seat belt tensioner is not reduced and that
removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution, regula-
tions, which are known to the qualified workshops, must be observed.
WARNING
•
If repairs are not carried out by a professional, or if the belt tensioners
are used incorrectly, the risk of severe or fatal injuries increases. The belt
tensioners may fail to trigger or may trigger in the wrong circumstances.
•
Never attempt to repair, adjust, remove or install parts of the belt
tensioners or seat belts.
•
The seat belt tensioner and seat belt including its automatic retractor
cannot be repaired.
•
Any work on the belt tensioners and seat belts, including the removal
and refitting of system parts in conjunction with other repair work, must be
performed by a qualified workshop only.
•
The belt tensioners will only provide protection for one accident and
must be changed it they have been activated.
